LUNAFEST, the fundraising film festival dedicated to promoting awareness about women’s issues, highlighting women filmmakers, and bringing women together in their communities, will be hosted by Wheaton-Glen Ellyn AAUW at Center Stage Theater.

This unique film festival highlights women as leaders in society, illustrated through eight short films by women filmmakers. The films range from animation to fictional drama, and cover topics such as women’s health, body image, relationships, cultural diversity and breaking barriers.

All proceeds from LUNAFEST will benefit the Wheaton-Glen Ellyn AAUW Scholarship Fund and Chicken & Egg Pictures, a nonprofit organization that supports women nonfiction filmmakers whose artful and innovative storytelling catalyses social change.  Thus far, LUNAFEST, which is created and funded by LUNA (Registered), The Whole Nutrition Bar, has raised more than $4 Million for nonprofit organizations across the US and Canada.

The program begins with hors d’oeuvres, a cash bar, and raffle baskets. The films will last approximately 2 hours with an intermission.  It promises to be an entertaining and educational evening.
